Marucci CAT – Historical Models
Marucci’s CAT line is iconic. It dominates at the plates, by the numbers, and in the hearts of BBCOR, USA and USSSA players. It often tops the lists of our best BBCOR, USSSA, and USA bats.
In more recent years, Marucci has expanded the CAT line to include hybrid and composite versions. We review and rate each of those bats below.
